History
First appearing in 1995, the Beretta 8040 Mini Cougar F is a hybrid between the first and second generation Cougars. It is based on the Beretta 8040 Cougar F. It is fitted with the later magazine release button, but uses the original slide. It was designed to serve as a backup, concealed carry pistol. In firearms the slide is the upper half of a semi-automatic pistol. ...
Specifications The sized down frame is made out of aluminium alloy. The barrel bore is hard chromed for reduced wear and ease of maintenance. The slide is either made out of carbon or stainless steel. In firearms terminology, the receiver is the part of the firearm that houses the operating parts of the gun. ...

Intended market The Beretta 8040 Mini Cougar F is an ultra compact pistol designed for law enforcement and the US concealed carry market.
Design advantages The combination of front barrel bushing plus straight recoiling barrel enables the Cougar to achieve good accuracy out of a compact package.

Limitations The Cougar series is not as capable at feeding different types of ammunition then the Beretta 96 series. The Cougar disassembly is somewhat more complex than the disassembly of a Beretta 96 series. The Cougars do not use Beretta 96 series magazines, which makes them less attractive to those that already own Beretta 96s. The closed slide does not enable the barrel to cool down as quickly as on a Beretta 96. The Cougars are heavy for their size. On the standard models, the Bruniton inside the slide wears away quickly and increases slide to frame play, a problem the Inox version does not have.
